We were given our chickens by a friend of a friend. Their previous owner was going through a divorce, (or so we thought) and needed to rehome her chickens because she was leaving her husband and he didn't take care of them. This was end of September, beginning of October last year. My husband and I were wanting some chickens, so we gladly accepted and have had them ever since. The chickens she gave us are our 11 SLW, a BO roo, and the other 7 mixed hens.
Yesterday, as I was out working in the coop, I saw a car coming up the driveway, and assumed it was an egg customer. Wrong. It was the lady who had given us our chickens. Long story short, the problem that she and her husband were having was solved, they have reconciled and she wants her chickens back.
Now, this may sound awful, but I don't want to give them back. These chickens were GIVEN to us to keep, there was no stipulation that said, well, if I ever change my mind, I'd like them back, etc., etc...
We put a lot of time and money into those chickens, they weren't in the greatest shape when we got them. I told her I was attatched to them and really didn't want to give them back. Explained she never said anything about getting them back. She got mad, told me she was going to send her husband out to get them, by force if neccessary, and I told her we have several no trespassing signs, so if he did come, we'd call the police.
Now it's out of control. She flew out of here spraying gravel, hit the dog with the gravel, the kids were right there. She's nuts!
What would you guys do? Am I wrong?
